Miss Alice Harwick, writing from her new

Township Treasurer Hubert has been
remarkably successful in making an early
collection of taxes. At the close of the one

collected nearly $4,000, leaving only about
"a 300 to dig out hereafter. Probably Ira is
not to blame for this state of affairs. He
would have made no complaint il everybody
had waited until the beginning of the new
year before paying.

Last Monday evening ragged tramp
enquired of Esq. Warner where he could find
Marshal Bullard. Being properly directed
and finding the object OF his search, he solic-
tied of the marshal quarters for the night.
He was directed to Supervisor Free as the
gentleman who could furnish him with
nights lodging III the cooler. Going TO his
residence he found the house unlocked, but
no one at home. he went in and helped
himself 20 q cake that had been left on the
table and, going into the parlor, he discov-
cred Mrs. Frees elegant plush cloak and mutf
and, the weather being cold, he bethought
himself that they would be very comfortable
things To warm his recreant limbs, and SO
did not wait for Johns return, but "vamosed
the ranch.' taking the cloak and muf with
him.
On their return, the family missed the
cake, bat not the garments until the next
morning. Investigation developed the fact
that he had staid In the Lawton depot al
night and had started east, up the track, in
the morning.
Officer McCabe of Paw Paw, and Officer
Hayes of Lawton, started in pursuit At
Mattawan, they learned that he had passed
there, still travelling east" Hank drove on
several miles 10 a crossing and, looking up
the track, saw the fellow, black speck in
the dim distance. Putting his team in u
friends barn, he obtained the help of some
track-repairer near by, who took him on
handcar, and they soon overhauled the chap.
Stopping, they asked him if he didn't want
TO ride! He did and, mounting the car, they
commenced to travel west instead of east.
Hold on !" said Mr.. Tramp, "I don't want
to 60 that way" "Oh, yes you do" said
Hank, "you want to go to Paw Paw and
thank that lady for her cloak and muf that
you have there" The fellow was thunder
struck but, of course had to Gomez it was
Hobson's choice.
He is now lodged in the Todd House and
will, no doubt, be given a free pass over the
road to Jackson. He gives his name as
Thomas j. Farrin. Tom will, doubtless, be
far IN before he gets far out again.

The new county officials took possession
of their new quarters on Monday, the Sd
inst. There seems 10 be a conflict between
the statute and the constitution as 10 the

constitution fixes the date On the first day OF
